MSK's Sandor Duzs’ proposal for the Design Our Ryde competition envisions a vibrant mixed-use civic precinct centred around a new public plaza. The development combines community facilities, council offices, retail spaces, and 410 residential apartments to create a lively urban destination connected to surrounding streets, transport, and the shopping centre. A distinctive “floating pebble” council chamber marks the civic heart of the project, while rotated residential towers maximise views, sunlight, and privacy while helping mitigate surrounding traffic noise. Sustainable façade systems incorporating photovoltaic glazing support improved environmental performance.
